Male partners’ involvement in antenatal care and its associated factors in West-central Ethiopia
Male partners' involvement in antenatal care was encouraging in the study area compared to previous studies done in Ethiopia. We suggest strengthening awareness among male partners about their shared responsibility during pregnancy. Male partners should be invited to attend the antenatal care. Policymakers and healthcare planners should design programs and plans that will encourage male partners' involvement in maternal healthcare services utilization.
